Provided is a switch with excellent operability. A switch is provided with a plunger, a lower torsion spring in which a biasing direction changes according to the movement of the plunger. The lower torsion spring biases the plunger in a returning direction when the plunger is in a reference position, and biases the plunger in a direction different from the returning direction when the plunger is in an operation position.

Provided is a switch that can reliably bring contacts into contact with each other with a small load, and can be prevented from malfunctioning. A switch is provided with a plunger, a lower torsion spring in which a biasing direction changes according to the movement of the plunger. The lower torsion spring biases the plunger in an opposite direction to a returning direction when the plunger is in the operation position, and biases the plunger in a direction different from the opposite direction to the returning direction when the plunger is in the reference position.

A contact piece structure includes a piece body having a slot. The slot has opposite first and second sidewalls. The first sidewall has a first plane portion and a protrusion, the second sidewall has a second plane portion and a recess recessed into the second plane portion and corresponding to the protrusion. A first distance from a top end of the protrusion of the first sidewall to a plane where the second plane portion is positioned is less than a thickness of the piece body.

A switching contact assembly for an electrical switching element includes a contact bridge, a base, and a spring assembly. The contact bridge is attached to the base with the spring assembly between the contact bridge and the base. The contact bridge attached to the base is resilient in a direction opposite a switching direction.

A contactor movable contact assembly includes an insulation seat, a drive shaft, a limit bracket, a movable contact and a springs. The drive shaft is located below the insulation seat and fixed to the insulation seat. The limit bracket is located above the insulation seat and is fixed to the insulation seat. The movable contact is installed in the limit bracket in a movable manner and can be moved in a vertical direction relative to the limit bracket. The spring is installed in the limit bracket and is axially compressed between the movable contact and the insulation seat. The insulation seat has an auxiliary contact pushing part, which is used to drive the auxiliary contact of the contactor to switch from the open state to the closed state or from the closed state to the open state.
